It wasn't her idea. She hated going out with them; moreover, it was one of those silent days. Ezekiel was still home and wouldn't respond to her calls, Eneizar vanished but Elijah took his place.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSDIZXTkj5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXSrlreQR8
"Why are we all going out when they are your friends?" Zoe asked dryly.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzVUwnJsrf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmKi4e9mX
Jasper turned to her and grabbed her hand. She was giving him the impression that she would get lost in the crowd if he wouldn't get a good grip on her.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7nV26YQDD
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK2e3OjIYY
"Because you look really sad and because you need to meet new people. You only have demons around you." His explanation was logical but not for her.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWp8HswhHd
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfdps64G7e
"That's not true. I have friends who have nothing to do with Hell," She trailed, aware that she was lying to herself more than anyone else.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhm8j4OzYx
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph4xdJ119t
He ignored her anyway, "Besides, we will have a show later tonight and I want you to stay and watch,"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RdcLqZCKj
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlUfsQAXgV
That was probably the main reason why Jasper dragged them out. Thankfully, Mark and Luke tagged along, making Zoe feel more comfortable.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwrPoRBegU
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxDmV6B10F
"This is so exciting. I've never seen an improvisation show before!" Iaosur exclaimed joyfully.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqAzO6gosq
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmFIIHx4aL
Chen stared at the demon blankly, certain that he didn't know what acting was in the first place.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtymBGOiX6Q
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjwU9fab7M
"You seem excited about everything." Luke was joking but Iaosur seemed a little offended by that comment.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1aWU8S7N3
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN3qUQaAMO
The demon raised an eyebrow and pushed a ghost through the human, Luke's eyes widening and body shivering. He stopped in the middle of the road and gasped for air.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgeBAfhvvk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYTT0aTQTQ
Zoe turned around and glared at Iaosur.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt1syYSDZG
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZHIrFIrIu
"I see two people fighting with each other in the same body." Jasper's words sounded crazy but that was exactly what was going on.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60oSQN7y6
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NMkdALDpA
He kept his distance from Luke but Zoe hurried over. She touched the human and the ghost fell out of his body, disappearing with a scowl.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll4ZYbv9Gj
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtAXq1LOCV
Mark was confused, "What the heck happened?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpgDYJAfUw
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57hi3orHnQ
Jasper was wondering the same thing. Zoe glared at Iaosur and waited for the rest to move forward before she grabbed his wrist and squeezed it lightly. The demon grunted in pain and almost fell on his knees; his eyes became entirely white and the veins around his eyes swell, forcing him to cover it with his hand.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPxqR7iYe2
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5tYngkYCG
Jasper was speechless. What exactly did he get into?856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgBu8vRmdt
"You didn't have to do that,"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGk3siGZwf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyfSzzPaN8
After she let go of his wrist, the pain faded away. Iaosur could go back to complaining yet his veins were still swollen so he had to hide them while walking.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1aJNsrTvI
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bESyYDxIq
"You pushed a ghost into an innocent human," Zoe scolded the angst demon.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjcvCjfD2A
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd9Waty7Ec
"He said something I didn't like. I defended my principles." She stared at him blankly, letting him continue before having the final word, "I know my rights and I had every right to punish him." The demon combated, his eyes widening slightly.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJsxPePwzo
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAmbFIHQXD
"I think you and your values should keep it in for the time being."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBD4H2CLUz
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbVu4qfi2
Iaosur rolled his eyes and continued to walk without a single glance to her.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aVTA4SPhI
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGExfshPlUc
They were going around Upper London and there were a lot of stores she hadn't been into. She really wanted to enter one that had antiques, some of the things on display looking suspiciously real.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii4XIPKfOC
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju2Px7O5Ju
The streets were packed and she could easily sneak away from the group. Maybe it wasn't a good idea, but she felt the urge to go and check out that store.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxgFSJbLQF
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03OUbVCpmd
When she entered, a small bell rung and signalled a new customer; the person at the counter was sleeping. She raised an eyebrow and stared at him for a few minutes; he was quite handsome and young for such a business besides, the store was very fancy for a medium budget.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0MAUw0jM3
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQ5tYcRvR
She walked deeper into it and touched one or two things. It had a certain comfort; everything in that place was spirit-less and had something magical about them. She noticed a doll in the very back, on an old dresser; it was pretty and vintage. Zoe smiled softly and remembered the toys she had when she was a kid.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXs6RgCAWS
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IzBzl3Owt
Two soft knocks grabbed her attention after a few minutes but she couldn't figure where it came from. She heard them again and realized it was coming from the back of the store. She glanced at the counter to check if he was still sleeping. He was. Good.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQTr4fPnL
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wGYN9T25
As she was walking towards the sound, the knocks didn't stop. Her eyes narrowed at a certain dresser; it was huge, taking an entire wall. She leaned in and caressed her fingers over the corners, noticing cravings; they were Devil signs and she knew some wizardry was involved in the making process but it was amazingly done and it worth the risk.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCLeXIEpq
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYeyUNmYM0
Knock. Knock.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppmoonNPn
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlQXObqfeo
Zoe heard it again. Her eyes moved upwards and reached for the handle. She was ready to open it when the warmth of another hand covered hers.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY5ZEpM5Da
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26bGihLTcT
"I wouldn't do that if I were you,"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ClWUxbpJ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpqj4qchd
Her head snapped to him and she froze. The handsome young man from the counter was a demon; moreover, he was demon without a sign and without a certain feel about him. She could see it in his eyes; she could see through his eyes, actually.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zrWU99wvz
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8yO0G8TOf
"You are a rebel," She breathed, scared that someone else would hear.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRqg2oa0Oj
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD3a4CT5d9
The boy raised both eyebrows and leaned in.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq608tIMkev
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FJQAcCtct
"Commander," A wide smirk graced his lips, "What an honour."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRrHOn12lP
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr5HH1BgWn
He had the face and reaction of a vanity demon yet at the same time, she knew rebels were demons who left any kind of connection to a Prince. It was really bad if he was one of Belial's demons, though, because those were rare and dangerous; moreover, they wanted her and Jasper dead.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Mx3bWlSG
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtscrzoucgB
Zoe swallowed nervously staring deep into his lifeless eyes. The man inspected her and turned her hand around looking for the sign. He didn't expect it to be on her palm, proving that she was a sneaky one and would prefer to hide her identity.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3MmuTTCUh
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9pMgJW8yv
"Are you going to kill me?" She asked watching him warily.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSOQtL2LSZ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7YBj2Vkg0
The demon looked down at her and shook his head.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjEUNzhnt3
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjhif0Kd19
"Then are you going to lock me into the dresser?" She continued.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXIesd5eN0
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOlHZVmzQg
He glanced at it from the corner of his eye before he started to chuckle.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCXuxluaV5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNj1lF9Uim
"On the other side of this dresser is nothing but void."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k9JXVguT7
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVMmKYRA2Y
She blinked quickly and looked at the wood dresser; it didn't seem that dangerous.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUGdQBtoxQ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc9MHeZNIu
"There is an old story. It is said that if you knock three times on the back of this dresser, a door will open; a door to a place where hope doesn't exist."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe1EHsmfRZ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlcSQPHQas
"Like Hell." She added.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxSPatotIQ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYpbeaOVR6
He stared at her closely, "Maybe. It's been locked for a long, long time by a witch and the story died with this master piece."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9SEr5sSnW
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBnqUO18q
He had such a deep calming voice. It was a surprise that he was a rebel; Zoe would have preferred him as a friend and ally.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxdlKF9mJk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3lSLVWAQk
"And somehow, you got it."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eCe1EWD0h
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQUHP3V1rb
He nodded and plunged his hands in his pockets. He turned his back on her and started to walk, Zoe following him closely.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnDj3pte99
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHPCjVOVK
"The old man who owned this store died of lung cancer a few years ago and his children didn't want to keep it. They sold it to some scum that wanted to destroy it and build a glamorous restaurant," The rebel started, his eyes staring ahead.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTKgreqsuK
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBw9MUFDPO
She could already imagine how things went from there.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgXeZXTGS3
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDqGvacKJ4
"So you possessed him and got it instead?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWWJfrOadV
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lsYrd9Gpb
The demon glanced at her over his shoulder, "I saved this place and made it a home for lost spirits. It automatically became haunted and he ran. He is still living his pitiful life somewhere."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Or3HQdtm
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ElScAZlNF
She was a little surprised by the story but something was still not right. He was a demon with an antique shop.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNICjx88hO1
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BkJmPHsjM
"This is a place where spirits gather for tea. It's a place where no one is weirder than the other. It's my home, as well." He finished, glancing at her over his shoulder.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyyq9OW6Y
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl0V0cqJLI
"Why are you telling me this?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieiAjBOX6
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilH1UNSnSc
He stopped in front of the counter and grabbed something off it.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptX0AcbKHa
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZ5JSq6xy
It was that doll she saw before; he gave it to her.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSETJUrJOgY
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy8fCSC4Y8
"Because that is exactly what your house is, isn't it? Iaosur, Gakhas, Mehrdir, Eneizar and so on; demons and familiars of different levels find comfort and safety in your home." He smirked and hit her forehead lightly with his finger, "You are their guardian. Just like a true commander, you lead them towards victory."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgeLxpi5ZO
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SwTbXZpgj
She looked down at the doll in her hands but couldn't think of anything to tell him; it actually felt like he knew everything anyway. The man winked and vanished right in front of her eyes.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3VVlJReR
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5FElVKMlN
"How can a rebel talk so leisurely and have such a bright aura around him?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsABT2tOgzs
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DUFn5Sfhn
Zoe sighed heavily and pulled the doll closer to her chest. She felt responsible for it, for some odd reason.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1nc0xU4Hb
She met the others at the bar; thankfully, she knew where it was. Jasper was in the back, preparing for his turn while the others were sitting at a table in the corner. It was crowded and sweaty; however, she was the one grabbing attention with her new accessory.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6pvODsL9g
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgtoAkGSza
"It seems Jasper has fans," She mumbled, sitting next to Mark.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YeLxhQ4ld
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIm0eRIu4A
Chen was ready to agree when he noticed her new friend.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqG0r8ZiOB
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX13l3R1e4Y
"Why are you holding a doll?" He asked pointing at the vintage doll that looked quite sadistic for his taste.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w4WayJ3s0
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfB5bT9Cm6
"Why not?" She retorted.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxvjBKSKB1
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYgkcudqj8
Chen blinked and accepted her response. He had seen worse -The Volunteer and Cane Hill- and he learned his lesson; questions only bring more questions. Sometimes, not knowing at all is the best option.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9s76mJy13
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvGrlMgJHA
She sat in between Mark and Iaosur and she had to listen to them rambling about whatever they liked; that was a lot and they it seemed like they weren't going to stop anytime soon. Chen kicked her under the table and pointed at his phone. She took hers out and felt it vibrate. The text was about Ezekiel and his absence.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDzckeBoM
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6TFPlRGDJ
She shrugged and texted back.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZEfTCS9Ej
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oK5drgDqX
Zoe: He doesn't respond to my calls and texts.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo2pfUb0XP
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH4MsnerAR
Chen frowned and typed right away.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcbF6j7jMA
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lsiMWn1iK
Chen: I talked to his mom. She is worried because he locked himself in the basement.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOC4upBewp
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOnNElFMpi
She rolled her eyes. Who knew what was going on through his head?856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAkWfD2B9l
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKr2Kweefk
Zoe: I'm sure he is fine. He is a big boy.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfHHmqJST
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYluVEMCwqy
Chen wasn't so sure about that. Ezekiel was ready to do anything if it was for family and Zoe became family besides, who could judge him? In the last few years, Chen had seen more than he wanted to.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcIU1X6d9B
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvx88BKSzD
Chen:What if something happened?856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxezDIDuusA
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS9D91DqzE
Zoe: Like what?856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwA6Tu7MQD
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTfxLsPHZE
The show was ready to start. The lights turned off and the girls started to scream. It was getting crazy but she didn't miss Chen's response.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf5uk4fr6y
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6IQBdTeiI
Chen: What if he got fooled by a demon?856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVbbLZTP5a
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTZCUvgP5s
She frowned and looked at him from her side of the table. His head was turned towards the stage but he wasn't smiling; he was worried for his best friend and he just made her share his feelings.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5efq8MUiB
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AjuzdnKZM
For the rest of the night, she couldn't enjoy the show at all because everything she could think of was how Ezekiel was gullible enough for some vanity demon to take advantage of him.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle5jVYGuFl
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezfELLCsj
At some point she felt someone grab her pinkie and squeeze it lightly; she looked down and saw the doll's small hand wrapped around her finger. Zoe chuckled and placed it on her lap but the worry didn't fade away; it was still there and it was eating her whole.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqLh04NYJv
On the other side, Mrs. Addams was in front of her basement door. She had a trail of food balanced on her right hand while she was knocking on the door with the other.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkizsvMcI6
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhpGVEJkIy
"Ezekiel! Come out and eat!"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfGNo0lCCk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXZ2gPBj1D
She got no response therefore she sighed and put the trail in front of the door.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rQher4D5s
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9jvUXTWhu
"I got you some snacks. Get something to eat, son. Don't be stubborn!" She screamed and knocked once more but nothing happened, "What is he doing down there?" She mumbled on her way back into the kitchen.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyHk5doH3c
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZ7XdirrS
Well, Ezekiel wasn't doing much. He spent the last two days searching for ways to transfer energies between humans and demons; he couldn't find anything on internet so he started to read.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2S3HJBGCY
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZokUITD0U
He couldn't find any demonologist who investigated or even heard something about that; most people wouldn't want to become demons. He was ready to give up when he found something that sounded remotely close to what he was searching for. It was called a Dangerous Magnetic Attraction and it was mostly about Succubi and Inccubi but Ezekiel wondered if it wasn't the same basic system.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk0XbLiwce
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fNybOxDhl
"Based on trust and needs a demon gives you everything you want and even more but for that to happen, he needs a vow from you. That stated, the demon tries his best to gain your trust through your needs and greed. Once he gets you entangled into his web, you remain with no power against him. You get lost in the dark and can never find light ever again, you are doomed and your soul will eventually be eaten or locked up. You cannot change your choice or back down once you enter his world. We might even see it as a life commitment. Once your connection is made, you start living a lie. What is worse is that you cannot even see it as a lie. For you, life just became real."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSexgUbcHmi
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNpjk1S40k
Somehow, those words sounded a lot like his actually life. If exchanging life energy for the best of Zoe was so dangerous then he could already see the threads of her web. She was the demon who gave him everything and made him live in her world; if the darkness was what consumed his life for the last few years then exchanging bits with Iaosur was not uncalled for.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XfN8ypZt8
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9aBOXjTZu
He didn't have to draw any circle but had to find Iaosur and simply exchange some vows and eventually spill some blood. It was easy enough; Iaosur was part of Zoe's circle anyway. If he was her legacy, it pretty much meant he was going to give energy to Iaosur sooner or later anyway.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc56A2WOr9
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiWVxjb0ll
"What are you doing?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBrwyRZCz5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUbC0h3e1X
The human jumped in surprise when he heard Eneizar's voice.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8PbcIcbhr
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmC1XDQEsV
"Can you not enter like a normal person? You scared me to death."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnknqzzvlC8
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OpiElxjIH
The vanity demon chuckled and walked around, his eyes scanning the basement like it was an infested place.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxRzaDxEm
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUTonNUBiN
"How did you know I'm here?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ZbFSnf1n
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZOmVgSVjh
Eneizar sniffed the air before walking closer, "I smelled you."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoseQKpL7Y
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9yKWYbogt
Ezekiel scrunched his nose in disgust; that wasn't something he wanted to to hear.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmdtSnUgeS
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGhp1gj3am
"Anyway, I know what you're doing."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jxfCee9PI
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40oT3uRy3u
"Really now," The human was sarcastic and Eneizar hated humans who were using that tone; moreover with him.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uDdz25CBr
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2VTbsLpRJ
"I know you met Mehrdir. He told you to give half of your energy to Iaosur. Do you know why?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclirY39rjk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCtEKWgUnE
Ezekiel sighed and nodded, "Yes. Mammon is interested in me and wants me to give him some kind of link to Middle World."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZFdNyWPKQ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkS4I3Xycz
Eneizar raised an eyebrow, surprised that Mehrdir told the truth for once. Ezekiel gathered his books and walked towards the door. When he opened it, he met Alice who was staring ahead with a poker face.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFvVsNkrEs
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakKZxkJYJ6
Ezekiel frowned, "Alice, what are you doing here?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPokScuGCmp
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl9jQ0JxfP
Her eyes moved around chaotically, just like the time you are asleep and have no control over your pupils. Ezekiel dropped the books and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her a little before she closed her eyes.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNmN72ipkp
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCcAAcmoSm
"What the-"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3dU63Vtuf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEwUbdTf6O
His eyes widened when he felt a sudden stingy feeling in his abdomen; she stabbed him with a fork. If that wasn't ironic, he didn't know what was. She opened her eyes and Ezekiel saw darkness.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzbySWzwnu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0O9fs8sOj
"Isn't this a pitiful sight? Your girlfriend is nothing but a vessel; nothing but a puppet in the hands of Belial," Eneizar trailed, appearing behind Alice.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgAhrqWKtK
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj5807Bw4p
Ezekiel coughed blood and fell against the door frame. He was barely standing on his two feet and no matter how much he was trying to gain balance, the wound was pretty bad.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHANLemyAD
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf2pREUkEi
The last thing Ezekiel saw before he fell unconscious was Eneizar's smug face, laughing at him like he has been planning his demise from the moment they met; he probably did.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfS885BTap
Jasper's improvisation show was a success and the whole table was shocked just how good he was. He acted with other actors as well and even with his real childhood friend, Zack. Zoe could already see that poor guy take Ezekiel's role for Jasper's well being and she didn't want to pity him but he was going to enter some nasty world.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYOeDWeuXf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ64EGSyaD7
Jasper introduced his friends to them and while Iaosur's eyes widened in excitement, already planning something wicked, Zoe was squeezing the doll under the table, feeling like something was missing.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx3fNuFEYP
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuyvnOw669
Somehow, even if she didn't want to originally, the conversation took a turn to the strange arrangement between her and Jasper; Zack was very intrigued since he was sure the two have never met each other before.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIPYmqSCS5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRcvsQgXT
"So, he's staying with you right? Isn't that uncomfortable?" The human started, drumming his fingers on the table.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEYBx875Tf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVZIygz9db
"I've been living with boys for as long as I can remember. I got used to it."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCSOEm0JTv
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKruYQDeXf2
Zack raised an eyebrow and nudged Jasper.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEJvpUY3Nv
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6WvukjJb
"Heard that?" Zack chuckled but Jasper shook his head disapprovingly, "What kind of men do you like Zoe?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyk5kNYHc4
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd5Lb0XFkn
"Stupid men who don't know when to stop and admit to themselves that they are wrong and someone else is right." She responded without thinking twice.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Wvt85Kbb
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARMp3mSEq2
Zack and Jasper stared at her curiously but Iaosur and Chen were trying their best to hide their laughter.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx5GscrLl0
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvRf9HfRJW
"Alright?" Zack didn't know how to respond to that, "So you like complicated men then?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb3AMcioGJ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXsd8R91sc
Her eyes glanced for a moment at Iaosur before she turned back to Zack, "I wouldn't say that. More like, awfully blunt men."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3u4A6vTJl
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrEitvB4Ea
The demon drunk his beer and hid the fact that he rolled his eyes and said something under his breath, "You chose the wrong place to look for sincerity."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiRIcU3Ejr
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAQu7CsDHi
Iaosur was quite blunt with his statement but he wasn't lying.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qcvCoED7
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBW5ZkCDu
They drunk more and even got deeper into the subject of relationships. Two more friends of Jasper's came at the table; one was tall and well built, his stage name was Manny and the other was a woman, really open-minded by the stage name Kitti. They were both in an underground band called Royal; besides, they were funny and livened up the mood.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayhHoj2jng
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiwlI2dX33
"I heard you are a webtoon artist," Kitti begun after taking a sip from her drink.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAR4easKFm
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29q2aCMKx9
Zoe nodded, curious how Jasper found out since she never told him anything about her life.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEddJYpNy0
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UbJyK8UNx
"Are you under some kind of alias on the internet?" The woman was curious and her cat-like eyes were boring into Zoe's blue eyes with so much ingenuity.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSGP67XdV4
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx9XR2eL4F
"The Commander," Chen got himself kicked under the table right after the last letter came out of his mouth; rather harshly too.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV49KqjrRp
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxwrPWTpfw
"No. I don't have any aliases. Only Zoe."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOi5HNiQ8
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxGYV9sb38
Kitti nodded and asked for another beer; for how small she seemed, she had high alcohol tolerance.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gKBLWoP9h
When the clock struck midnight, Mark and Luke started to shift in their seats, glancing at each other worriedly before they decided to walk out for a breath of fresh air. Ten minutes passed and they didn't come back. Zoe and Jasper glanced at each other before they went after them.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTxZuTFPJR
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSWBfXNdzp
Many people were that night in the city but Zoe could feel where they went. It was weird because they were humans and even as the commander, Zoe could only sense dark entities. She grabbed Jasper's hand and walked down the street, finding Luke leaning against the wall with his hands hiding his face. Jasper was scared and he had no idea why but he could feel his whole body trembling, reacting to something dangerous that he couldn't see yet.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtykkUEg92
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqmW2HRXEY
Zoe walked to Luke's side and moved his hand aside. The sight she met was one she genuinely didn't want to see, ever. His eyes were completely white and lifeless, looking very much like Gakhas' when he was watching TV.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCKgTAbGtW
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk1kBQa3CU
"It's harder for Belphegor to possess someone who's been trying his best to stay in his body,"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokR2ZUoH6G
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAf73t5n7y
She turned her head slowly and saw Mark coming out from a side alley, his hands plunged in his front pockets. His eyes were normal and he looked normal but Zoe could see the dangerous creature inside him.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AX0GEJ3PR
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Bits3rYM
"Surprise," He exclaimed with no excitement whatsoever.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB2xGxok0l
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMPTdpLOX
Zoe swallowed nervously and wiped her sweaty hands on her jeans, "Leviathan,"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9nIBi0K5v
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ydTtiZte0
Jasper's eyes widened and glanced back and forth between the two, confusion all over his face.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D82bonWhk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mKQbfxDI6
"You're possessing my friend," She continued, her eyes eyes narrowing slightly at Mark.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jJNJkOxFC
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q9cC5zKil
The vessel shrugged, "It's not the first time."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sAKj2lR3r
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcA0uTWg6g
Jasper's eyes moved on Zoe. She had her back turned to him but he could notice how stiff she became, every muscle in her body tensing ready to defend herself.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0m1JeR1Ai
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTfWcku39f
"What do you mean?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BNq98VXaQ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeOs9Emrad
Luke seemed to have lost control because he suddenly started to laugh.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6lF9SBR2k
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpcK6SYPpt
"Do you think two boys suddenly moved next door in such a crappy apartment building? Do you think people can be so bright all the time? Humans have dark secrets, Zoe. Some darker than others." Luke's voice was definitely different and the changing was obvious, unlike in Mark's case.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm94MtaMAZ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMtmOpWkhL
She didn't move nor blink, only stared at Luke's lifeless eyes, listening to everything he was saying.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSZK6ej93
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R06Uo2Spu
"Let me see if I got this right. You two use Luke and Mark as vessels; have been since you found Zoe." Jasper clarified it more for himself than her.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbltfRe3j6S
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78lmm1sd3O
Mark nodded.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAObsTHVhqN
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUt3Kfu3wY
"Yes." His eyes enlightened when he noticed the mist around Jasper, "Oh, Bel. Look who we have here! It's the inheritor!"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkjXdDo7up
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpKMGQdvnN
Jasper's courage vanished. When Mark walked closer and started to check him out, it was both uncomfortable and weird.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jI5c0Q0qN
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2rV9pywh5
"You are so weak, just like Zoe before she got the demons. I'm sure there is a Mehrdir for you too, Jasper. You already found your anchor. What was his name-um-" He tried to remember the name of the people whom Mark spoke with earlier, "Right. Zachary Park."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJJgL4tHo
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17XKi2LTQi
Jasper's eyes widened and turned to Zoe for help but she was speechless. However, Mark continued, "And not only. You have your brother as well, don't you? Your grandparents were involved and your parents tried to keep you away but karma is a bitch."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwWfho37QV
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVFyWBVpMK
Luke rolled his eyes and glanced at Zoe. He grabbed her shoulders and swayed her from side to side, trying to get a reaction out of her.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YxuIstrLf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2JVFdsiBs
"Don't be so shocked, Zoe. You should know by now that no one around you is real. Never was and never will be; not even your love for Mehrdir." He whispered in her ear after pulling her closer.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAn0ZQuOzW
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi83LyCNPhE
Something clicked in her mind and she quickly regained her attitude, shrugging Luke's hand off her harshly.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphu59NYHi3
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAeyh0hwfO
That sudden trigger didn't come from hearing Mehrdir's name, though; no, it came from the endless knot burning into her palm. She glanced at it and traced it with her fingers, flinching at the contact.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrn8GopiB
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl68RVJp5VS
Luke took a step back , his eyes meeting Mark's. Inside the bodies, the two demon princes were getting pulled towards a specific place.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ5xUo5xuL
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Oo23GdGP
"There is a circle forming in a magic house," Luke started.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XngMlExSE
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4cfaPbQnR
Mark's eyes widened when he realized what was going on, "They're calling for Asmodeus."856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZ3EUawNy
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal5kQxhvyu
Zoe's head snapped to Mark, "It's Ezekiel isn't it?"856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6gaFfUX0f
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAeGlRPJwG
They nodded. She looked down at her palm and saw her veins swelling from the pain. Her eyes started to sting and she became aware of the interferences in energies.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ItmPljRby
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaJRElTcgR
"He's making an exchange," She barely got to say that out loud when she ran down the street.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVLGZQ5VyB
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6BMCiPGks
The demons left as well and Jasper found himself alone on the street with two unconscious men. He sighed and rubbed his head realizing that he got involved into a weird world.
